herp derp I'm just going to ignore the fact that Saturo Iwata said that in 2003, when gamers did not buy online games, and thus he was completely correct when he said it, and now that it is no longer true he no longer believes it.

Stop your trolling IGN and just go the fuck out of business

Lol, lighten up. And it's not like the PC had popular online games like Battlefield 1942, Diablo 2 or Warcraft III at the time, not to mention Halo on the Xbox.

Uhm rainbird? halo, BF1942 and Warcraft III are mostly splitscreen multiplayer or lan games, the online component was at most, icing on the cake. And you know that using PC games is irrelevant, because Iwata is obviously talking about the console market (what with that whole, representing a console manufacturer thing :P.

But they were online games none the less, and all of them are played online to this day (though I don't know how big the Halo and BF1942 playerbase is, they can't be that big anymore). The first SOCOM had even been released then.

My point was, don't take it so seriously. Online gaming was growing back then, and IGN found the comment fitting for this little thing, it's just for the fun of it.
